Symphony
Anonymous | 04/04/2008Voices, each unique, together
make the sound of the thrush.
invoking everything.
Your voice, mine;
your heart, mine;
your face, mine.
Selves unfolding –
in our reflection,
the divine.
Angry Eyes
Anonymous | 04/04/2008Close your scowling angry eyes
and imagine the permanence of death
for your scowling angry eyes
will never see the face of God
smiling in the eyes of a child.
How can that be?

I speak to you as I speak to God.
I speak to God as I speak to you.
How can that be?
